Jefferson was six feet two aud a haW inches in height; Madisoo fire feet and between sis and six and s half inches. Jefferson's movements were nnresraired, -swinging and iold Madison's though graceful, were precise. Calm au. ihority satra Jedfersoo's eye, and lorked in the rm intonations -of Iris vofce. In a Stage coach, in a crowd, in an; Brtuatlon, "he at cmce ettrac ted notice at once was recopnited try hvg and iow as Jeader of oen. The impression which aSis locks- coorejed was that of great firmness and gentleness -combined-of KwerfuJ energy in perfect repose. Madison, in public, appeared .o a stranger like a polished and contemplative "professional en an or studeot, who was taking a Hook otrt on lire busy world. A characteristic of 5Jr. JeffersonV con versa, ion baa beetven its boldness. It -did not i s he became advanced rn Hfe often evjnoe en .husiascn; be scade no effort at sustained brrlHan j; and he otterly lacked wit. His "discourse Abounded with iaiorcoation and tbosght, and was earnished with old-fashioned courtesy and compliment, as old architecture exhibits rich and quaint earwig. XVie was in the style of the pre Revolutionary comt cf Virginia, or of that of Louis XVI, partly nibbed off by late ' aasocia lions. TJisr-cooversAtion, however, was always pleasing to the listeners, and occasionally, with the joorig, deepened into that earlier e train, when bis thoughts spontaneously arranged themselves iq0the stritiug and stately die tion of bis early writings. It then fell with in describable force on the ears of his bearers. Mr. Madison too bad the oW-scbool elegance and snperaboooded with information. . Ilisis coarse without being didactic . and frigid, was weighty. He, perhaps was never impassioned; and was rather taciturn in public. But among bis private friends, be was a delightful and bo ; imoroaa talker; -and in very small and very conG-dential circles, blazed out into bnrestrained fay cetionsnesa, and "occasioned brilliaat flashes of wit.

He loved intrigue for his own sake. There was faBeioaUon ia it which blinded his judgment. He was ready, to embark: in it, and was ssn gnine of snecess, where a; man of less estate ness but without bts taste for plotting, wduld haveforseen the certainty of defeat.

He was willing to risk it a thoasand times fa aoy desperate effort for fortune and power, rath er than glide along smoothly ia the current of a Common snecess. When we consider bis peca liar character, aad weigh testimony adduced at his subseqaent trial, which was not impeached, or even rendered the swbject of a just suspicion, little doubt seems to remain that he contempla ted a dismemberment of the Union as a direct resnlt of bis enterprise, or rather as a conting nt result which was to follow, if soccess crowned the first branch of the wndertsikiBg. . RANDOLPH. Before wonder and adulation, or the fever "fire of excitement had turned his' brain, Randolph did not lack considerable judgment in political affairs. Hia integrity was unquestionable. He scorned meanness, duplieity or cowardice. His loves, like his bates, were sincere and vehement. He could, be -A captivating companion, and the pure and noble Macon loved him like a brother, to the end of his life. ; But every good gift had a concomitant bad one, ; He was a trundle of opposite extremes curiously .bound together in one incongruous and diseased human frame. He was a living antithesis.! We have mentioned some of his pailiamentary and other contradictions. His private ones were not less narked. His integri. ty, for example, did not place him above tEe most paUr suspicions of other men," whose etaadarda were notoriously as high as his own; and the viruleoce and egotiarn of bis temper. male him read j to poor out these suspicions al once, aud it chafed er onposition, to swell tbesa to a torrent of invective. R is courage was combined with quarrelsomeness. . He was more than ready; to put every dispute on the footing of personal offence. He fought a number of duels fur words which were uttered in par lis men tary be bate, and which were characterized by less than his own habitual personalities. - If not true-lent by disposition (and we do net believe he was) his overstrained pride and punctiliousness geuerally left no other escape from a controver sy with those who aaknowledged what is termed the ''code of honor," Even his friendships aud hates, -deep though they were for the time being rarely survived an important, difference of opin iotu Or rather, love of opposition and change was a disease of bis organisation. He followed Jefferson devotedly for years, and then broke off on the provocation, or pretence we have seen. He loved Mr. Madison, and soon fiercely bared m iu uenounceu nim, ne was entnusiastic in hia admiration of Monroe, and afterwards pour trd out on him . epithets implying contempt. He was one of the earliest supporters of General Jackson, and one of the first to abandon him. He iusulted Mr. Clay in the Senate, fought with him, aud then rushed in a dying state across the country, as fast as his horse could be driven, to be reconciled to him. He clung to Macon, Taze well, aad 4rtt)e knot of friends through all; but "had" one of these heen elected President, Randolph would probably have denounced him within aix months of bis inauguration. Jefferson was his first and longest official love His character during the first Presidency of the former was sounder and more even than ever af terwards. Admiration and wonder had not fos tered his worse qualities into full bloom. He h id not, since the full development of his powers, tasted the acid luxury of opposition. Disappointment in love (to adopt a hypothesis hin ted at by Mr. Garland ) and long physical dis. ease, had not reached that acme which unhinged him.

The charm of expression arising from softened tem per or ripened intellect, aften amply atones for Ue loss of form and coloring; and, consequently to those who never could boast of these latter years give much more than they take away.

In the Parish of Calcassieu, a few days ago, a desperado named Le Blea was filled under ex traordinary circumstances. The aewspapers of this city have published the occurrence, - but there are particulars, obtained - from a private source, which have not appeared in print, and which add materially to the interest of the affair. It appeared that from early manhood Le Bleu, had been in the habit setting the laws at defiance whenever they conflicted with hit own passions or desires, and often did so out of pare wanton ness, or to gratify the de vfufB aiirit. which must have been strongwithia him. Some time ago he murdered two Jawyers in the streets of Lake Charles, and on one occasion he compelled one of his neeroes to seat himself bv tha aida of the District Jsdge while the court was in session; in fact his deeds of violence, and his utter reckless-, ness and lawnessnesshad made him a terror to the whole parish, and he, no" doubt had come to think that the laws were powerless against htm, and that ha could commit any crime , with impu As the story goes, Mr. Le Bleu took a fancy to the wife of a man named Fox, living in the parish, aad proceeded in a most direct and sum mary maoaer to gratify his passion by getting up a sort of Sabine wedding. He visited her house in the husband 'a absence, produced a pistol, and informed Msdarae that his horse would carry double, and tnat she mast forthwith get up be hind him. Whether she eomol'ied willindv or not is e .question, but she certainly went with him, and they lived together up to the time of his death. As regards this forcible style of making love, I do not roach for the truth of the statement, but so the story was told to me. " During the recent term, of the District Court in Lake Charles, a tragedy of some tragedy of some description was confLlenlly 'expected. Le BW had threatened the j udge and several other persons, and ia consequence they and their friends prepared themselves for a desperate encoaater the court room aad tha bote!, it is said, presented something tha appearance of badly arranged arsenals, One morning, bright aad early, La Bleu rode his mule into town, ; dismounted and, proceeded to tha hotel, with a long dragoon pistol la each head, aad a belt about hia waist containing a revolver and a knife. 1 He -was evidently bent on mischief, but his enemies were on" the watch, and before he oould set foot oa the porch he was saluted by a charge of buckshot from a gun ia the hands of Mr. Fox, whose wife he had stolen. Three or four more shots were fixed by other persons, and Le Bleu fell dead . with more than fifty buckshot in different parts of his body.

One beautiful night these emigrants had camped near the foot of a range of mountains, and had turned their cattle out to graze. Little did they dream of trouble, or that danger was near at band; bat it was even so. The Canaan ches surrounded them on all sides so that there was no chance whatever for their escape.. The conflict was soon decided. The men, (nam bering twenty five,) were all brutally murdered and scalped, together with several of the woman. The remainder were made captives and carried off to other tribes aud bartered for horses, provisions, Ac Wougmawket purchased his wife for two horses knd a couple of deer skins.

Jefferson was six feet two aud a haW inches in height; Madisoo fire feet and between sis and six and s half inches. Jefferson's movements were nnresraired, -swinging and iold Madison's though graceful, were precise. Calm au. ihority satra Jedfersoo's eye, and lorked in the rm intonations -of Iris vofce. In a Stage coach, in a crowd, in an; Brtuatlon, "he at cmce ettrac ted notice at once was recopnited try hvg and iow as Jeader of oen. The impression which aSis locks- coorejed was that of great firmness and gentleness -combined-of KwerfuJ energy in perfect repose. Madison, in public, appeared .o a stranger like a polished and contemplative "professional en an or studeot, who was taking a Hook otrt on lire busy world. A characteristic of 5Jr. JeffersonV con versa, ion baa beetven its boldness. It -did not i s he became advanced rn Hfe often evjnoe en .husiascn; be scade no effort at sustained brrlHan j; and he otterly lacked wit. His "discourse Abounded with iaiorcoation and tbosght, and was earnished with old-fashioned courtesy and compliment, as old architecture exhibits rich and quaint earwig. XVie was in the style of the pre Revolutionary comt cf Virginia, or of that of Louis XVI, partly nibbed off by late ' aasocia lions. TJisr-cooversAtion, however, was always pleasing to the listeners, and occasionally, with the joorig, deepened into that earlier e train, when bis thoughts spontaneously arranged themselves iq0the stritiug and stately die tion of bis early writings. It then fell with in describable force on the ears of his bearers. Mr. Madison too bad the oW-scbool elegance and snperaboooded with information. . Ilisis coarse without being didactic . and frigid, was weighty. He, perhaps was never impassioned; and was rather taciturn in public. But among bis private friends, be was a delightful and bo ; imoroaa talker; -and in very small and very conG-dential circles, blazed out into bnrestrained fay cetionsnesa, and "occasioned brilliaat flashes of wit.

He loved intrigue for his own sake. There was faBeioaUon ia it which blinded his judgment. He was ready, to embark: in it, and was ssn gnine of snecess, where a; man of less estate ness but without bts taste for plotting, wduld haveforseen the certainty of defeat. It takes another trait to complete Che -character of a rash and ready conspirator. He was willing to risk his Hie to carry ont the most paltry amour. He was willing to risk it a thoasand times fa aoy desperate effort for fortune and power, rath er than glide along smoothly ia the current of a Common snecess. When we consider bis peca liar character, aad weigh testimony adduced at his subseqaent trial, which was not impeached, or even rendered the swbject of a just suspicion, little doubt seems to remain that he contempla ted a dismemberment of the Union as a direct resnlt of bis enterprise, or rather as a conting nt result which was to follow, if soccess crowned the first branch of the wndertsikiBg. . RANDOLPH. Before wonder and adulation, or the fever "fire of excitement had turned his' brain, Randolph did not lack considerable judgment in political affairs. Hia integrity was unquestionable. He scorned meanness, duplieity or cowardice. His loves, like his bates, were sincere and vehement. He could, be -A captivating companion, and the pure and noble Macon loved him like a brother, to the end of his life. ; But every good gift had a concomitant bad one, ; He was a trundle of opposite extremes curiously .bound together in one incongruous and diseased human frame. He was a living antithesis.! We have mentioned some of his pailiamentary and other contradictions. His private ones were not less narked. His integri. ty, for example, did not place him above tEe most paUr suspicions of other men," whose etaadarda were notoriously as high as his own; and the viruleoce and egotiarn of bis temper. male him read j to poor out these suspicions al once, aud it chafed er onposition, to swell tbesa to a torrent of invective. R is courage was combined with quarrelsomeness. . He was more than ready; to put every dispute on the footing of personal offence. He fought a number of duels fur words which were uttered in par lis men tary be bate, and which were characterized by less than his own habitual personalities. - If not true-lent by disposition (and we do net believe he was) his overstrained pride and punctiliousness geuerally left no other escape from a controver sy with those who aaknowledged what is termed the ''code of honor," Even his friendships aud hates, -deep though they were for the time being rarely survived an important, difference of opin iotu Or rather, love of opposition and change was a disease of bis organisation. He followed Jefferson devotedly for years, and then broke off on the provocation, or pretence we have seen. He loved Mr. Madison, and soon fiercely bared m iu uenounceu nim, ne was entnusiastic in hia admiration of Monroe, and afterwards pour trd out on him . epithets implying contempt. He was one of the earliest supporters of General Jackson, and one of the first to abandon him. He iusulted Mr. Clay in the Senate, fought with him, aud then rushed in a dying state across the country, as fast as his horse could be driven, to be reconciled to him. He clung to Macon, Taze well, aad 4rtt)e knot of friends through all; but "had" one of these heen elected President, Randolph would probably have denounced him within aix months of bis inauguration. Jefferson was his first and longest official love His character during the first Presidency of the former was sounder and more even than ever af terwards. Admiration and wonder had not fos tered his worse qualities into full bloom. He h id not, since the full development of his powers, tasted the acid luxury of opposition. Disappointment in love (to adopt a hypothesis hin ted at by Mr. Garland ) and long physical dis. ease, had not reached that acme which unhinged him.

In the Parish of Calcassieu, a few days ago, a desperado named Le Blea was filled under ex traordinary circumstances. The aewspapers of this city have published the occurrence, - but there are particulars, obtained - from a private source, which have not appeared in print, and which add materially to the interest of the affair. It appeared that from early manhood Le Bleu, had been in the habit setting the laws at defiance whenever they conflicted with hit own passions or desires, and often did so out of pare wanton ness, or to gratify the de vfufB aiirit. which must have been strongwithia him. Some time ago he murdered two Jawyers in the streets of Lake Charles, and on one occasion he compelled one of his neeroes to seat himself bv tha aida of the District Jsdge while the court was in session; in fact his deeds of violence, and his utter reckless-, ness and lawnessnesshad made him a terror to the whole parish, and he, no" doubt had come to think that the laws were powerless against htm, and that ha could commit any crime , with impu As the story goes, Mr. Le Bleu took a fancy to the wife of a man named Fox, living in the parish, aad proceeded in a most direct and sum mary maoaer to gratify his passion by getting up a sort of Sabine wedding. He visited her house in the husband 'a absence, produced a pistol, and informed Msdarae that his horse would carry double, and tnat she mast forthwith get up be hind him. Whether she eomol'ied willindv or not is e .question, but she certainly went with him, and they lived together up to the time of his death. As regards this forcible style of making love, I do not roach for the truth of the statement, but so the story was told to me.

Three or four more shots were fixed by other persons, and Le Bleu fell dead . with more than fifty buckshot in different parts of his body.

Her history is related as follows: ; V x-- - -, - About the year 1844, there was . ft small company of emigrants, numbering about tea wagons who left the frontiers of Missouri for Oregon Ter ritory. .The Camanche Iudiaus watched these unfortunate emigrants with a murderous design ftom the time they left their protected auJ peaceful homes. One beautiful night these emigrants had camped near the foot of a range of mountains, and had turned their cattle out to graze. Little did they dream of trouble, or that danger was near at band; bat it was even so. The Canaan ches surrounded them on all sides so that there was no chance whatever for their escape.. The conflict was soon decided. The men, (nam bering twenty five,) were all brutally murdered and scalped, together with several of the woman. The remainder were made captives and carried off to other tribes aud bartered for horses, provisions, Ac Wougmawket purchased his wife for two horses knd a couple of deer skins. The other captives (two women and three girls, were sold to a tribe of Indians which inhabit that por I tion of country where the Colorado River has its source. : ' ' ' ' " ' ' A Free-LeTer Loosened.
